My
Review:

I
will be honest I was a little nervous about trying this product as the sponge
was hard and didn't seem like it would feel good on my skin. However, this is not at all the case; after
you wet the sponge it becomes super soft.
So I read the directions and soaked the sponge under water until it
became soft, which took about a minute.
For my first use I used the Konjac sponge without adding cleanser. I wanted to be able to really try the sponge. I massaged the sponge in a circular motion on
my face. It felt extremely soft and was very
gentle on my skin. After I finished
using it I rinsed it off and then palmed the sponge pressing it until it was
dry. The pureSOL Konjac Sponge came with
a hook which is perfect for storing it in the shower. From the second use on forward I used this
product with my daily cleanser. This
sponge was perfect for deep cleansing, detoxifying, and hydrating my skin while
it balanced my pH levels. After the
first use I noticed a difference as my skin was softer and smoother. After a week of use I noticed an even bigger
difference as my skin tone was more even, I was having less acne outbreaks, and
my dark spots and acne scars were more faded.
I also noticed that I had more of a healthy glow, looked more awake, and
fresher.

In
addition to the awesome skin results the pureSOL Konjac Sponge helped me save
money. I use a different wash cloth each
time I wash my face. So that’s at least
two washcloths a day, let’s just say laundry really piles up fast. However, now that I use pureSOL’s Konjac
Sponge I am using less towels which then leads to less laundry which then leads
to saving money. Unfortunately, for the
first time I am in an apartment that doesn't have a washer and dryer in the
unit. There is a laundry on site which
costs so since I have less laundry to do now I am saving money. Even if you are lucky enough to have your own
washer and dryer you'll still be saving money by doing less laundry you'll save on your utilities bill.

I
was truly impressed with this product, pureSOL Konjac Sponge. It was very easy to use, and felt extremely
soft on my skin. I love that this
product is 100% natural and biodegradable.
pureSOL Konjac Sponge is free of parabens, sulphates, and phthalates. I will continue to use this product on a
daily basis. I would absolutely
recommend this product to EVERYONE as it helps keep your skin healthy and soft. pureSOL Konjac Sponge is a simple product to
use that offers fantastic benefits and results!
Plus this product is ideal for delicate and sensitive skin; therefore,
everyone can feel safe when using this product.

relieve muscles aches and pains.

Whether used on the face or the body, our Dead Sea Mud Mask
is a superb in-home spa treatment that will reveal more vibrant, refined,
healthier skin.

My Review:

First off this product is huge! I
could definitely see this product easily lasting 6-9 months. So you
will totally be getting your money’s worth with this product.As instructed I washed my face first so it would
be clean before applying this product. InstaNatural’s Dead Sea Mud
Facial Mask was super easy to apply. However, the mud mask was
extremely cold, much colder than I had expected. I applied a
gracious and evenly amount to my face, excluding the eyes and lip areas as
directed on the jar.InstaNatural’s Dead Sea Mud Mask went on
smoothly. It did not feel gloopy or gooey. I also did not
notice much of a scent; so I think it is odorless. I left the
product on for 12 minutes as the instructions listed to leave the mask on for
approximately 10-15 minutes. Besides the very cold feeling there was
no burning, tingling, or itching feeling while the mud mask was
on. After the time was up I took the Dead Sea Mud Mask off by using
warm water in a circular motion to wash it off. The Dead Sea Mud
Mask came easily right off. InstaNatural’s Dead Sea Mud Mask is a
dark charcoal gray color and I was concerned it would stain my towel or dirty
my sink. Thankfully, it did not leave any mess behind or discolor my
towel.Immediately after taking off the Dead Sea Mud
Mask I felt that my skin was cleaner and fresher looking. My face
felt smoother and tighter.The next day I noticed that some zits that were
already on my face prior to using the mud mask, but weren't quite
ready to pop had risen to the surface. So then I was able to pop
them and they disappeared within a couple days. I consider that to
be a benefit as zits can take days, even weeks before they are ready to be
popped. So the sooner I can pop them, the sooner they will go
away. I also noticed that a few days later my skin was clearer and
I wasn't having usual daily acne outbreaks.InstaNatural recommends that you only use this
product once a week. So the following week my mom and I had a
mini-spa day and used InstaNatural’s Dead Sea Mud Mask. My mom also
enjoyed using this product and experienced similar results. She
stated that she had instantly noticed tighter and softer skin. I
also had the same experience with the mud mask as I did the first time, but
with even stronger results.InstaNatural's Dead Sea Mud Mask is not just
only for the face! This product can also be used as a body treatment as
it soothes and relieves muscle aches and pains. Unfortunately, I haven't
had a chance to try it as so. However, I am very interested in trying it
to help soothe my neck and back pain. If this product works as well as it
does on my face, I have a good feeling it will also work as a body treatment.I am very pleased with this product,
InstaNatural’s Dead Sea Mud Mask. I will continue to use this
product and incorporate it into my weekly routine. I definitely
recommend this product to anyone looking for a mud mask and wanting to achieve
tighter, fresher, smoother, cleaner, and clearer skin.

Social worker Tam Kerish can’t keep her cool professionalism when steamy client Mr. Burns kindles a desire for more than a client-therapist relationship—so she drops him. However, they discover she’s the talisman to which Burns, an immortal djinn, has been bound since the days of King Solomon…and that makes it difficult to stay away from him.

Ethical guidelines are unequivocal when it comes to personal relationships with clients. However, the djinn has a thawing effect on the usually non-emotive Tam, who begins to feel true emotion whenever he is near. Tam has to make a difficult choice: to stay on the outside, forever looking in…or to turn her back on her entire world, just for the chance to finally experience what it means to fall in love.

Legend has it if you die in your dreams, you die in real life. Fifteen-year-old Ashling Campbell knows that’s not true because when she closes her eyes each night, she doesn’t dream about public nudity or prom dates. Instead, she's catapulted to the front row of her future self's execution - fifteen years from now - where monsters have taken control of her hometown and she, or rather, her 30-year-old counterpart, is their public enemy number one.

For three months and counting, it's been the same dream... until she hangs a dreamcatcher above her bed. Ash falls asleep to discover she's no longer a mere spectator in these dreams - now she's actually astral-projecting into the body of her future self. Each night, she goes on the run with a ragtag group of rebels - who have no idea she's really a high school sophomore and not their noble warrior. With the help of her best friend and a mysterious somnologist, Ash learns to manipulate her sleep through lucid dreaming. She has to make it through each night so that she can wake up and find a way to change the future. For every action she does in the present day, she falls asleep to discover it had an equal impact fifteen years later. It's up to her to manage her two worlds and make sure she's still got a place in both.
